Question

Could there be a chance I can't get pregnant?

I have miscarried once back in 2011 & have not gotten pregnant since. The guy I miscarried with we never used protection but still didn't get pregnant. The guy that I am with now we are trying to get pregnant & this was our first time around trying but I took a test at 11 dpo but got a negative. I feel like it could have been to early but I can't help but also feel like I still will get another negative. I haven't missed my period yet but I can't help but feel discouraged or upset that I got a negative or that I'll get another negative reading. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks.

Even if you plan everything perfectly to line up with ovulation, the odds of a healthy, fertile couple getting pregnant each cycle is only about 20%. So it may take several tries or a year or even longer to get pregnant. 11 DPO is early for a positive, best to test when AF is late. If you haven't gotten pregnant after a year of trying you should see a doctor. Be patient and it will happen eventually. GL!

I get it. Negatives are so upsetting. Why don't you wait with retesting until u miss AF and in the meantime take your mind off it a little bit. GL!

Chances are that you'll get there without any intervention. The fact that you have been pregnant once is a really good sign, even if sadly it didn't lead to a birth. However, if you've had no luck after a year of trying, it is definitely worth getting checked out so that any underlying conditions can be identified.


5 years TTC. Endometriosis and adenomyosis. Surgery. 2 IVFs. No joy. Low ovarian reserve. Is there any real hope? DE IVF = next step. Much higher success rates, but so used to things not working, it's hard to feel too hopeful. Wishing others an easier time.

Thank you Mammoth. My now boyfriend is very excited to continue to try until we succeed. We both want to be parents more than anything. I'm just not sure when I exactly ovulate. Lol. Is there a way to find that out?

On your next cycle, you should try Zinc and Magnesium supplements!!! I watched a YouTube video about how a girl who suffered from amenorrhea or an absent period CURE IT, and restored her fertility without drugs. Just by taking zinc and magnesium. I watched it a week ago, around the end of my period and I JUST got a positive OPK for the first time in four months.

Thanks faintbutpositive! I'll have to for sure go get some & try it out. I just ended my period about 2 days ago or so, so I'll go pick some up & hope it works this time. Congrats!
